Mark your calendars for October 22 and 23. We're pleased
to offer two days of workshops in the style of the Y2Knit Knitting
Getaway Weekends - come for some or attend them all. Jill Wolcott,
Creative Director for Y2Knit, is in town from San Francisco for
this event with workshops you won't want to miss. Expect to learn,
have fun, be inspired and find new ways to enhance your knitting

yarn in your stash or a pattern you've not been able to match to
yarn. And Ball to Shawl provides you with everything you'll
need to create fabulous shawls from novelty yarns- for yourself or

Saturday is about knitting for fit and flatter. Make sure that
